I haven't seen this episode yet. I watch SFU on DVD. Many years ago "Eat A Peach" was the title of an Allman Brothers album. It was released after Dickie Betts the driving force behind the band die after riding his motorcycle into a truck hauling peaches.

Wow...surprised there's no discussion on this one yet. Hope people didn't miss it due to the fireworks and such.
I wonder if Brenda knows about Billy and Claire? I keep expecting her to "straighten him out"...which feels odd ta say. Nice ta see Brenda and Nate work things out nicely, but it may be a bit soon IMHO to be telling Mya all about mommy. Hmmmm |
The title may also (or instead) relate to a famous line from a poem by TS Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock...

Also, Mrs. Chenowith has always bugged me a little but now she's going too far. With her latest bit of emotional blackmail, she's practically sacrificing Claire's safety just so her precious Billy doesn't have to deal with the pain of another breakup. She needs to butt out and let him straighten himself out - or not. He's probably a lost cause. I just hope he doesn't end up taking Claire down with him. |
I'm pretty confident in guessing that Billy's gonna end up killing *someone* before the end of the series, but who? Claire? Nate? Brenda?
It's pretty easy to imagine Ruth offing George at this point, too... Anyone have any wild speculations how this will all turn out? |
I don't get Claire dumping him so fast and wanting nothing to do with him. It seemed like they were having a great time and then he went a little nutso...which was explained by not taking the meds. Even with that explanation, Claire still wants nothing to do with him. It just seemed rather abrupt. I can deffintely see Claire pull away but from what we were shown, it happened too fast.

It's been in the past few eps that James Cromwell's George has really become the most sympathetic character on the show. Similar to his front porch scene with Billy last week, he actually seemed to connect with Claire when he was in her room. As much as anyone can get to her these days anyway. Nice to see them showcasing his great acting ability. |

BTW...Clair and Ruth's totall assholeness isnt coinciding by accident, just like thier choice in men, it shows how there the exact same person, and hate each other for it. |

As for Ruth suddenly being nice to George, I agree with what others here have said - I think she's going to go home and leave him alone in that nifty new apartment. Whether any or all will meet with some horrible end, it's hard to guess. With this being the last season, I suppose anything (or anyone) goes. It should be interesting to see how it all wraps up. |

That was the vibe I got as well. |

Besides..who would live in the Funeral Home residence? Nate has moved out, David is out (is that surrogate gonna blow up or what?!) and that would leave Claire there with no income and no job. |

It's a funny image though - Claire wandering through that big, empty house, wondering where everyone went. She's been so into her own little world lately, it would probably freak her out to look around one day and notice she was all alone. |
I Predict we end the series with at least 3 main character corpses
My guess George - Neglect Ruth - Georges Daughter Brenda - Billy |
I think the give away on Ruth's plot was when he said "I think we'll love it here!"... and Ruth shoots back "I thought YOU would like the place." even kind of empasizing you.
Rico gets more delusional by the week.... "The principal said the divorce is effecting Julio!" :lol: Oh yeah George.... "Your phone is ringing." - "I thought maybe you were too stoned to realize." :lol: |

I have to laugh when I start to think that Brenda is the most stable person on the show right now. :lol: David and Keith are in for a whole boatload of trouble with adopting TWO. An eleven year old boy with that kind of background is just going to be a brooding asshole. |

I think she sees that she failed to recognize the changes in his personality that were happening from being off the medication soon enough. Scary to think that she could have walked in to the apartment last week to find him just a little more edgy than he was and have him murder her in a jealous rage, no?

If you watched from the beginning of the season, you will notice that she really wasn't happy with Billy - and she only felt "better" with him after Ruth yelled at her or something happened to her involving Ruth (freezing her bank account).
Remember when she had that dream of Billy about to stab her in the opener? She absolutely knew she wasn't 100% with the whole Billy deal. Also notice her facial expressions while with Billy dining with his friends. False front. She just finally got the nerve to leave. |
I think Ruth definitely leaves George there.
Billy will probably kill himself as that is much more likely than him mudering someone else. Episode 8 is supposed to be a "shocking" one according to a cast member who was interviewed. |
